I was a single man last year. When I did’t know where to find a lover A friend of mine suggested I take a try on —–Ríçhhookµp. CᴏM—– and I signed up a free account there. Now I have a new 25 year old wife (i’m 45)

I thought it interesting that “I wonder” was a number 40 rather than closer to number one. After all, “I wonder” gives birth to imagination, innovation, and invention. I was hoping to see some comments on which one people found the most powerful in their own lives. For some, it might be “Let’s go,” but for myself – my most momentous events have always been preceded by “That’s enough.” ‘Enough’ sitting around and hearing how everyone else travels the world; and ten years later, ‘enough’ traveling and missing home. ‘Enough’ standing by and not speaking out; and conversely, saying ‘enough’ to fighting battles that I wasn’t going to win. ‘Enough’ sitting around and not doing what I love. For me, “That’s enough” covers all of those other phrases like “Get out,” “I did my best,” “This is wrong,” “I can do better,” and “I don’t care;” simply because before you can make great change, you have to realize that what you are doing isn’t working. For those with an optimistic, outgoing and passionate nature, there is no greater power than knowing when to say “That’s enough.”

I agree completely. Before I had a smart phone, my phone allowed me to enter something that I’d see each time I turned it on. I programmed it to ask: “How much is enough?” I find it to be one of life’s most important questions, at least for me, and it pertains to all aspects of mine. Being able to say “This IS enough” can clarify so much and is so empowering.

I have learn several good stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much effort you set to make such a magnificent informative web site. http://www.crcadvisor.com/property-news/index.php/ncr-residential-realty-on-top-in-the-country/

WOW,FINALLY A THINKER….. BINGO…..home prices too high resulting in high property tax!….remember, your property tax is proportionally to the price of purchase home…..and it is forever….not 1 or 2 years…. The banks are really the real obstacles to the economy recovering…. all this easing and lowering interest rate have little effect on the borrowers because the rates are lowered very slightly for the consumers but they take effective immediately at the lowest rate for the banks. The banks borrow more of the cheaper money and use it for other investments rather than getting loans to consumers because fear of loaning to the wrong people. Even if they loan, they loan at a much higher rate so they can profit greatly. The Banks got lots of money from the tax payers through the bailout but you and I never see money reflected in the SAVING INTEREST RATES IN OUR SAVING ACCOUNTS….you will be lucky to get interest rate higher than 2%.

But not a lot of people can get a loan due to their bad credits (remember most of them walk out of a home or do short selling so their credits just flushed to the toilet) and companies laying off people and outsourcing jobs oversea…..Folks, everything is interrelated but the BANKS is the driving force in the middle of all this…..and it started with the BIGGEST BANK IN AMERICA…THE FEDERAL RESERVE….

what the FED should have done (and I know this is not very popular) is to FORCE the other BANKS to lend to the consumer at the RATE it gives the bank. This will directly give those who CAN BORROW do so at the lowest rate possible to save money. And, to create jobs, the government has to take action against companies that outsource jobs and put forth rules that force companies to create an equivalent # of jobs here in AMERICA for the # of jobs they outsource oversea. the companies can take a tax break per job they create in AMERICA. this will force companies to rethink about tax heaven outside the U.S. and think more about incentives of creating jobs in America.

As far as this printing of money, we might as well print the money to give to the government for a few years so it can stop taking personal income tax from individuals making less than 250K per year for a couple of years. I think if you and I don’t have to pay income tax (and possibly property tax) for a couple of years we would be a lot better off and would have lots of saving and money to spend after that.

It is rare to encounter an article that can be immediately appreciated yet must be revisited regularly to be optimally absorbed. Gorgeously simple. Brilliantly illustrated. A truly enjoyable read. Lovely effort Jessica. Sharing.
